How to Make This Cinnamon Dolce Latte

- Next, brew your espresso and steam your milk. Add the espresso to a mug and mix in the cinnamon syrup. Then pour in the steamed milk.
- Lastly, top it with maple whipped cream!
FAQ
If you have an espresso machine with a milk steamer, all you have to do it place the wand into the milk and steam it. If you don’t have one of these, heat the milk in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring it to a simmer and give it a good whisk until frothy. Take it off the heat and voilà!
Yes! Feel free to use any milk you want. If you want, you can also try using coconut cream in place of the whipped cream.
